This decision will keep Minnesota from being on the hook for more than $11 million if Bridgewater is unable play in 2018. It's impossible to weigh Bridgewater's future at the time, because it's likely he'll sign an incentive-laden, low-risk contract in Minnesota or elsewhere and will not be relied upon to start any games.

We will find out, but one thing is for sure: Nobody, not even the experts, knows what teams will select come draft night. Well, maybe they can have a third straight good draft, but I'm anxious. I know what's coming next is not a popular opinion, but if both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson are available at the 25th pick , don't take Deshaun Watson . Read More »

On the other hand, however, Hoiberg was the one who initiated this discussion with his complaint the other day, and you can't make accusatory statements like that about an All-Star and not expect to be asked about them. If the Celtics fail to close out the Chicago Bulls on the road, Game 7 of that series will be held Sunday at 1 p.m.in Boston. It was a perfectly reasonable question to ask of Hoiberg, who invited such scrutiny as soon as he went on his ridiculous diatribe about palming , ... Read More »

The Seahawks, who got an additional third- and seventh-round pick from the Falcons, will pick 34th overall on Friday and have San Francisco's fourth-round pick (111th overall) on Saturday.

In fact, I would rank Foster only behind Luke Kuechly and the freakish Jaylon Smith (health not included) in terms of overall grade since Kuechly was drafted in 2012. Read More »

With Game 2 in Washington on Saturday night, Bonino knows it will be hard to take a 2-0 series lead with the same showing. He hasn't even resumed skating yet, so it's doubtful Murray will play soon.

Let's look at what members of the team's hierarchy had to say after the selection. "We see ( Engram ) as a weapon, and we'll take all the weapons we can get", Reese said.

The Plain Dealer reported that the Browns, who also have the No. 12 pick in the first round , are looking to trade up to get Trubisky as well. In a draft in which defensive players collectively were considered by far the better prospects, three quarterbacks were taken by the 12th overall pick. Read More »

Many analysts believed that Cleveland would select Garrett before circling back to Trubisky if he was still on the board at no. 12, or that the team would trade up in order to try and select Trubisky earlier. The point is he seems to like a mobile quarterback that can roll outside the pocket and can run the zone read option. However, I think Mitch Trubisky will be the first quarterback taken. Read More »

Hazard - who was actually advised by manager Antonio Conte recently not to become more selfish - is certainly getting closer to Ronaldo, if not Messi, in terms of goals.

Outside of that, Roberson did have a great series but when a guy is costing you easy points (and his name isn't Shaquille O'Neal), he needs to come out, especially with as many whistles as there are in the final minutes of an National Basketball Association game. Read More »

Is he a good fit for the Cleveland Browns? Texas A&M pass rusher Myles Garrett has been the consensus No. 1 for the entire pre-draft process, but Browns ownership wants a QB, and might not be patient enough to wait until No. Let's assume that they take Garrett first-overall; what then? That smokescreen sends teams scrambling when they otherwise could've been sitting on their hands. Read More »

The result kept Mourinho's injury-hit team in fifth place, both a place and a point behind City with five games remaining in the race for a top-four finish to qualify for the Champions League. "Pep has been there and done it as a player and a manager", said the former Liverpool and England star. "They were wonderful, the way they fight". City have so far beaten only Arsenal of their top-four rivals at home this season, but Guardiola does not think anything should be read into that. Read More »

The 14-time grand slam champion Nadal is the main attraction at the tournament, fresh from winning the Monte Carlo Masters for a record 10th time on Sunday.

So I just think the WTA sends the wrong message to young kids: you know, cheat and we'll welcome you back with open arms.
